"Do you feel anxious, stuck and overwhelmed, battling a voice inside that says you are never good enough? Some part of you knows a change needs to happen but it feels like there's no one out there who gets it, gets you and could truly help.

"Everyone has a life story filled with unique colors. Each color represents personal experiences, strengths, behaviors, relationships, and our inner world. Sometimes we find it hard to navigate through challenges and to face realities, which are unfamiliar and/or unexpected. Prior experiences may interrupt our current way of interacting, thinking, relating, and managing daily life. Stress contributes to increased anxiety, depression, behavioral problems, and relational issues. Trauma can debilitate individuals, couples, and families creating abrupt internal changes and fears. Grief over individual loss needs to be honored and acknowledged. Change occurs as a direct result of uncovering new insights."

We engage in a safe and non-judgmental environment with work that balances listening with interaction to challenge the inner critical voice that keeps you in the same patterns year after year."

"I believe successful therapy needs to begin with a trusting, compatible relationship between you and me. If we can establish this foundation for treatment then we can move forward to identify your strengths as a unique individual, and work to uncover and resolve the elements in your life that are preventing personal growth and a gratifying lifestyle. I provide an initial free phone consultation, and offer phone sessions. I work on a sliding scale, and am a provider for Medicare, Blue Shield, Magellan, and Humana. I am NOT a provider for Medi-Cal. I can also bill your insurance company excluding your co-pay."

"My treatment approach is an integration of psychodynamic, family systems, and cognitive behavioral therapy. My practice reflects the thinking that, " When you change the way you look at thinks, the things you look at change."- Dr Wayne Dyer With that in mind, it is my belief that we must understand where we have come from, to truly grasp where we are presently. Each session is intentional focusing on guiding you to your desired destination, using individual and dyadic strategies."
